    When you Submit your site to 'many' social bookmarks - has this bought you loads of traffic? - or not much?

    a) im on about submitting to many of these - did it bring you Loads of traffic? what is your experience, did your submissions bring you spikes of consistent traffic? or not much?

    b) share your experience please.

    Oh I am NOT asking for using social book mark sites to get incomming links(seo purposes) to your site, but the traffic generated from viewers on them sites to see your site. - Not link building/seo traffic but pure social book marking sites.

    Hi,

    First tell that have you got traffic when you submitted your site. Well if you want traffic then submit your site in stumbleupon which best of all of them and even digg also but there you have to write good content also.

    Oh yes. Even simply posting links on social networking sites brings good traffic (if you got many friends). Same with social bookmarking

    The amount of traffic that you can get depends on a couple of things:

    1. Topic / Niche

    Entertainment, gadgets and weird stuff gets a lot of traffic :)

    2. Title and description used

    If you have an interesting title and description, you are likely to get more traffic.

    3. Number of votes it receives

    If you can manage to come on first page of any decent SB site, you will get good traffic, while www.digg.com can practically kill your server, even smaller sites like www.dizzed.com can also send you 1000s of visitors

    What else can you submit to social bookmark sites?

    a) Can you social book mark your Forum? www.YOURDOMAIN.com/forum?

    b) or would it be best to social bookmark a category or even an important thread of the forum? which would be the best one worth doing?


    What other things can you social bookmark? - Can anybody make a list please...of all the things you can social bookmark

    -a blog
    -a press release


    c) What else? share a list somebody... of all the types of content you can social bookmark......

    Hi buddy , I will say that yes we get good traffic from them but it is not constant because just in couple of hiouurs hours story move back and new stories come up on main pages but yes if your luck worked and story get popular than you can get good traffic and back links from it . Which can give you little constant traffic in future also .

    Submitting to social sites is definitely worth your time. If enough people like your content, you can be bombarded with traffic. Not to mention it's a good way to get backlinks as well.

    I am currently testing a tool ( onlywire.com) which helps you submit automatically to about 30 social bookmark sites...so far it is working good, but I haven`t seen any real progress to my traffic

    You can get some traffic if you post blogs and useful information people want. In addition, some sb's can give some link juice as well.
